Hunting Hunting along the Crystal Coast is very popular with
locals, and many visiting hunters make Carteret County their hunting
destination. Guide services have long been a popular means for duck and
goose hunters to experience new locales. Using knowledgeable guides cuts
down on your chances of spending time in the wrong spot. Brown's Hunting & Guide Service Capt. Kyle Brown is an excellent guide and strives to
put you right on the action. He lives in the Down East community of
Davis and, as a local man, knows the area waterways and gamelands well.
Duck hunting is his specialty, and he is a licensed captain.
